Abstract

Distribution, phenological and, in many cases, rearing data are given for 67 species of Western Palaearctic Cryptinae, including 6 newly described species. The new species include: Acrolyta pseudonens sp. nov. from woodlands in Scotland, England and Austria, which has been reared from cocoons of Braconidae and Noctuidae; and Neopimpla aleiodesi sp. nov. collected in woodland in England from mummies of Aleiodes aterrimus and Amphipyra sp. Seventeen species are recorded from Great Britain (UK) for the first time. A checklist is given of British species of the subtribes treated in this paper.
